Triatomics Go BIG!!!!!!!!!!!!

From our club's Sport's Chair, Clay Moseley:I've been meaning to post something about a couple of our own Triatomics members who have "ventured farther into the food chain" and laid it out on the line in some of the biggest races in the world.

First off, our own Liz Miller went big at the Ironman 70.3 World Championship in Henderson, NV. For those of you who don't know about this race, it is a very hard course (just click on that link and the picture of the competitors on the bike says it all). Just finishing it is tough. Liz had an awesome time of 5:39 on that course, which is fantastic.

Her age group (F30-34) was incredibly competitive; the most competitive women's age group, in fact. The gal who won that AG placed 1st overall for the women age groupers, and 11th overall, including the pros (ahead of such pros as Leanda Cave, etc.). The next age grouper was over 12 minutes back!

Anyway, great job to Liz!

Laurie on the podium. Click photo to see it larger.

This past weekend, Laurie Goddard scored a huge victory in the M65-69 age group at the XTERRA National Championship in Ogden, UT. He's been on the verge of so many age group podiums and victories, so this is huge. All of you who know Laurie and how hard he's worked and progressed in the off-road triathlons, then you know how big this is for him. It is fantastic to see that he finally got that big one!!!

Does this mean that Dr. Goddard will be going to the World Championship in Maui???

Here's to Liz and Laurie! You two represented us well and we're proud of you!

Also, many of you may not have seen/heard, but we hosted another pro triathlete in early September for his final training block in preparation for Ironman Lake Tahoe. His name is Kirill Kotsegarov, and he's from Estonia. A big congratulations to him for his 4th overall at Ironman Lake Tahoe.

He loved training here and will likely be back. He may come back and train with Viktor for perhaps one last end-o-season Ironman. We'll see.

Kirill Kotsegarov was back, training at Barranca Pool and recovering from the Lake Tahoe Tri cancellation. He's heading to Spain for the big one there. Kirill said Los Alamos is a fantstic place to train. He sure is right about that! A very nice guy, too.==George=
